Dallas Cowboys LB Justin Durant said he is pretty comfortable with the 4-3 defensive alignment the team will running this season. "It's a little different from the schemes that I ran before. Just language and different ways of playing certain techniques. I'm getting it pretty good, there are certain principles that I know, I just have to get the minor details that certain coaches want me to do," Durant said. He is expected to compete with LB Alex Albright for one of the starting outside linebacker jobs.

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said he hopes LB Kyle Wilber will be able to start at strongside linebacker in the team's new 4-3 defensive alignment. Wilber is expected to compete with LBs Alex Albright and Ernie Sims for the job.

Dallas Cowboys LB Alex Albright could be used as the team's middle linebacker, but he was a defensive end in college and a switch to the 4-3 defensive scheme linebacker position might not be an easy transition.
